give him a chance, and if he pops for roids then blacklist him for good.

This. I came on here to bash Barnett and say he has no place in the UFC since he's pissed hot on multiple occasions, has been unapologetic about it, single handedly killed an organization, and has openly endorsed steroid abuse. But, I can't take away that he is a skilled individual, with or without the juice. Plus I'd love to see him get raped by some of the current HW's. Mitrione would be a good start.

If Mintrone could beat Josh, he's completely shot. Taking nothing away from meathead but he's not on Josh's level technically.

Agree with everything except the last sentence.

He has failed multiple tests for steroids, lied about it multiple times, to my knowledge still hasn't admitted his guilt, and has thrown it in DW's and UFC's face since it happened and has been completely unremorseful. Basically said FU to everyone including the fans.

He has talent but belongs in the WWE where his ego and sterioid use can go unchecked. Too many chances for him and the UFC doesn't need him anymore like they may have in the past. Just my opinion; not bashing.

First off, Dana, while we disagree with particular stances you take from time to time, I think we can all agree you've done great things for this sport. One of the greatest draws to this sport is the connection you and zuffa encourage between yourselves and fighters with the fans. Very seldom can a fan of a pro sport converse with the participants they way we can.

Thank you for that.

Now, let's see Barnett back in the ufc! He is one of very few named hw's that are still in/near his prime, outside of the ufc. He is a particularly great match up for the current champ, and a solid threat to everyone in the division.

Once again thanks for giving thought to the bullshit we spew onto internet forums and twitter and Facebook
